It doesn't like mine, unfortunately. The portmapper starts, but the NFS
server crashes out with an "access violation" (segfault?). *sigh*

Perhaps it's just time to migrate all my users to Samba...

I've also heard from a friend who is a pro network engineer that 3.0, at
least, used to disable the Kerberos security layer on Windows' Active
Directory, because of compatibility issues between MS's mangled Kerberos
and the standard protocol.

Perhaps (and hopefully) this is no longer the case in 3.5. I have a copy
lying around, but as you say I don't think it works on NT4. It's also
/very/ invasive.
